Great setting and an enjoyable course









(Round played: Dec 2020 - Score: 85 Handicap: 14.5)









Good
Nice course, love the water holes. Pro shop working well with all the restrictions and very helpful. The greens where in excellent condition and nice and fast.Will definitely return









Good course, expensive place!
This was only my third visit to Luton Hoo, and the first when the trees were pretty much fully 'in leaf'. It was also the windiest day I've played there, or anywhere else this year! This made it very difficult to score, and the best any of our fourball could manage was 31 points, from our Club Champion!The course itself is looking particularly good, and the greens were running quite quickly, which itself was a problem when the ball would not always stay still.
Where there are trees (which is about half the course, being the original 9 holes), the trees are magnificent and very imposing - don't get behind them, as it makes the holes very awkward.
The staff were all very friendly, and my only concern was the cost of the food (which was very good by the way). We had 3 bacon rolls which alone cost ?6.50 each, and the bill including tea/coffee came to over ?33 for just 3 of us. I think the cost of the round is probably a bit more than necessary as well, but that doesn't seem to stop the course getting quite busy as weekends.
Most people will be aware that there are no bunkers on the course (apparently they're not allowed to put any in), but there are enough humps and hollows around the greens and fairways to make the course hard. The rough looked fairly innocuous, and yet we lost a number of balls, and there were groups searching the rough all round the course. The locals abviously play a decent ball, as I found a ProV1 and TP5 on my way round, and finished with the same ball I started with. Advice is to take a provisional if you're a bit wayward.
All in all, I like the course, and will almost certainly be back at some stage, but hopefully on some kind of deal, as full cost is a bit prohibitive for a pensioner like me.

Worth a visit









(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 85 Handicap: 8.7)









Great golf
Great golf course and in a lovely area. No bunkers but alot of water and a lovely 240 yard par 3 great day out(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 99 Handicap: 16.7)









A tough course but very enjoyable
Off of the completion tees it?s a touch course, especially if the wind is blowing.. however the tees and greens are fantastic, and the fairways, saplings and rough are all maturing well. Well worth playing!








Decent Flat course
After a long drive from the gate to club house which feels like it will never end, you are welcomed with a magnificent manor house followed by the club house which is outstanding. As for the course its pretty flat and not so challenging. But the overall experience is good.








(Round played: May 2020 - Score: 93 Handicap: 19.6)










parkland course
Jan 2020, considering the wet weather, the course is holding up excellently. The ground keeping team are providing a superb conditioned playing surface.

















As we were a society, we did get a very good deal for our 18 holes, plus bacon roll & coffee/tea, on a weekend, but generally, the club is expensive to play without some form of deal. One of our number decided to order a breakfast, which cost over ?16, (including a built in service charge, which he objected to, because he had to wait so long for the food).
The course was far busier than when I last played, but everyone seemed to be moving along quite well despite time looking for wayward balls, so the pace of play was acceptable. It was surprisingly quiet for a course so close to Luton Airport and the M1, and apart from the newer holes, we could have been anywhere in deep countryside. There is a small pro-shop, but I thought the items on sale were again on the expensive side (e.g. a metal bag-tag and ball marker in a presentation box was ?25).
A few minor downsides. There were very few waste bins around, which meant people were leaving all sorts of rubbish at the tees, presumably to be picked up by greenkeeping staff later. This included an empty single malt bottle, and several plastic bottles. There were no tee signs, so if you didn't know where you were going, you couldn't check before playing. Since my last visit, there are now signs to the car park, but it is still easy to miss these, so if you're visiting to play golf - on the road into the facility, turn right before you reach the main house, go past the next building (this includes the 19th hole bar, pro shop etc), and the car park is on the left. Go as far as possible into the car park (down by the tennis courts) for the shortest walk to the pro shop and 19th bar.
The course has hosted a number of championship events, so they do have some long holes, which only our biggest hitters were getting near to hitting in 2, and that was with us playing from the yellow tees, some on which were very generously far forward of the usual tee placements. Apparently it's over 7,000 yards off the very back, but I don't think they generally allow play from those tees.
I would like to play the course during the summer (or at least late spring/early autumn), but I guess the deals would be fewer and further between at that time of year. Either way, I'm sure I will be back, so long as I don't have to pay the standard green fee.









Bunkerless
Great venue with some stunning scenery. If you like long par 3s then this is the course for you.








Nice challenge
Very well kept, lengthy challenging course








(Round played: Jul 2019 - Score: 113 Handicap: 28.4)


















Enjoyable Course
Nice course in good condition. Greens in reasonable nick but maybe slightly slow. Aprons and fairways in superb condition. The tees, semi rough and rough were slightly too long and could do with more regular cutting. Overall a very enjoyable round.
